The UW and ASM - and I'm guessing other employers that issue passes - does make an effort to find and punish people selling passes. I have been told by a number of people that Craigslist and other on-line sites are scanned for people selling bus passes. They take it very seriously.
I'm guessing that the announcement of enforcement and possible requirement to show an ID is partly an effort to scare people into behaving. Just like when I was a young and more irresponsible driver, I didn't speed because I knew the local police were out there hiding. I behaved myself because I knew certain roads were notorious for "speed traps." Hey, they work. (Ask anyone who has driven through Rosendale<http://www.620wtmj.com/shows/jeffwagner/45156357.html> .) So maybe a few people will be asked for ID, and a few people that have sold their passes will be punished by their employers for selling their passes. (Most employers keep track of which pass was issued to which person. There is a bar code and individual number on the bass.) Word will spread, and the amount of fraudulent use will hopefully go down.
